One thing that gets me is when the religious say that because people aren't following religious "guidelines" they are somehow less "moral".
When people say, "Let's take Christian symbols off of court houses" the Christians become incensed, yet the same Christians have zero problem claiming that people who don't have the same occult beliefs they do are somehow "not moral". How many times have I heard Christians saying, "Without "God", what's to keep you from murder and rape?" To me, the person that asks that question is the dangerous one. The only thing keeping them from rape and murder is belief in the "supernatural"? How is that not scary?
Then the question comes up, "What should moral Christians do to those NOT "moral"?"
Here's where we part ways. While I agree some Christians have the kind of attitude you describe, they are neither the majority nor anywhere close to the mainstream. They tend to be loud, but don't judge every Believer by what they yell. When you start saying "The Christians" this and "Religious people" that, you are lumping me together with them. Trust me, neither of us really appreciates it.
You don't need to be in the majority to be dangerous. Christians refuse to reign in their crazies the same way the Islamics refuse to reign in theirs.
As the Dover debacle proved, Christians are intolerant and threatening.

The religious still live in 1882. In the US, Christians want to make mystical creation equal to science, even though they have no data. In many Islamic countries, teaching the Science of Evolution is illegal. No surprise since Islam comes from Christianity.
There are many dozens of university and medical courses bases on evolution supported by many other fields of science. This isn't grandpa's evolution.
There is no reputable licensed MD in the US who doesn't believe that evolution is true. It's part of their education. If you don't believe in evolution but go to a MD, that is being a hypocrite.
